What a Worlds for U.S. ice dancing this year! Meryl Davis and Charlie White were the first U.S. ice dance team ever to win the World Figure Skating Championships! And the young Shibutanis placed third! Meryl and Charlie gained their victory over the Olympic and World champions, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir.
Meryl and Charlie’s calmness and confidence definitely stand out in their free dance performance. As the announcer mentions, Meryl and Charlie have won every competition they’ve competed in this year. Also, watch their passion, effortless skating, and polish in this performance. Meryl and Charlie’s hard work and years together have definitely paid off for them now! Congratulations, Meryl and Charlie!
